What is Fair Trade?

 

In May 2007, we became one of Beloit's first fair trade retailers offering a wide variety of items produced mainly by women artisans.  The term "fair trade" is a term used to describe a socially responsible movement which demands that farmers and artisans receive fair prices for their products and that no child labor is used in the production of their products.

 

By purchasing fair trade items, you are not only getting a fabulous gift, you are also helping to alleviate poverty,  empower low-income people, and show your support for social justice! Wow! All that from one little purchase!  Fair trade also promotes increasing sustainable environmental practices for third world and second world countries so that natural resources are replenished and their natural environments preserved for future generations.
